I have been looking for a new car for about 2 or 3 years now. For most of that time I've considered the following:
xD
xB
Fit
Insight
Civic
Focus (because I have the X-plan)
Kia Soul
I've had mostly Hondas in the family and have loved them. I think the Fit is one of the best designed small cars ever, and I loved both Civics I owned, but there are SOOOOO many of them on the road and they creep out of my price range when I put in what I want. The Insight is pretty cool but back seat space sucks, and cargo area and visibility aren't that great.
The Soul is actually pretty darned appealing, but its a Kia, has a timing belt, and I understand dealers are not dealing, and there is no way I'm paying MSRP for a car that will depreciate to nothing in a week.
xB is a great family car, but dark and depressing inside and the MPG sucks.
I enjoyed the xD a great deal as well, and actually I'm back to considering it if a new release edition comes out.
And now the Cube..... I like the look, the MPG sounds pretty good, I like the fact that its all Japan built and it seems the most comfortable of any of them (except maybe the xB) I wish it had a bit more cargo room.
Anybody else consider the other cars on my list? What were your reasons for not going with them?
